Bed Bath and Beyond (BBBY) NewsBite - Zibb.com

Jun 16, 2008 (Fresh Brewed Media via COMTEX) --

Bed Bath and Beyond (NasdaqNM: BBBY) ended the last trading session at $30.03. So far the stock has hit a 52-week low of $24.49 and 52-week high of $38.20. Bed Bath and Beyond stock has been showing support around 28.98 and resistance in the 30.56 range. Technical indicators for the stock are Bearish and S&P gives BBBY a neutral 3 STAR (out of 5) hold rating. For a hedged play on this stock, look at a Nov '08 30 covered call (BHQ KF) for a net debit in the $26.83 area. That is also the break even stock price for this trade. This covered call has a 159 day duration, provides 10.66% downside protection and an 11.82% assigned return rate for a 27.12% annualized return rate (comparison purposes only). A lower cost hedged play for this stock would use a longer term call option in place of the covered call stock purchase. To use this strategy look at going long the BBBY Jan '09 25 Call (ONY AE) and selling the Nov '08 30 call (BHQ KF) for a $3.75 debit. The trade has a 159 day life and would provide 4.26% downside protection and a 33.33% assigned return rate for a 77.00% annualized return rate (for comparison purposes only). Bed Bath and Beyond does not pay dividends at this time.

Jun 26, 2008 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) --

Bed Bath & Beyond has reported net earnings of $76.8 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to $104.6 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the same quarter a year ago.

Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 were approximately $1.65 billion, an increase of approximately 6.1% from net sales of $1.55 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Comparable store sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 increased 0.8%, compared with an increase of 1.6% in last year's fiscal first quarter.

Steven Temares, CEO and a member of the board of directors of Bed Bath & Beyond, said: "We continue to take a long-term approach to our business and work to continue to distance ourselves from our competitors by striving to be our customers' first choice for the products we offer domestically, interactively and over the long-term, internationally."

Bed Bath & Beyond likely to benefit as Linens 'N Things closes stores - UBS - Zibb.com

BOSTON, May 27, 2008 (Thomson Financial via COMTEX) --

Shares of Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. rose Tuesday after UBS reiterated its buy rating on the stock, saying the home-furnishings retailer is well-positioned to capture market share as rival Linens 'N Things closes a number of stores.

The stock was up 1.7% at $31.36 on volume of 1.5 million shares. The issue's 30-day average volume is about 4.8 million.

Analyst Brian Nagel said Bed Bath & Beyond is "very well-positioned" to benefit from easing competitive pressures in the home accessory retail category as most Linens 'N Things units that are closing compete directly with Bed Bath & Beyond stores.

On Tuesday, the New York Post reported that Linens 'N Things and its creditors are considering closing an additional 50 to 100 stores. Earlier in the month, Linens 'N Things filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and announced plans to close 120 stores.

"We view a successful reorganization at Linens 'N Things as unlikely," Nagel said. He left his price target on Bed Bath & Beyond unchanged at $40. Casey Logan cl/jw

Bed Bath & Beyond NewsBite - Bed Bath & Beyond Rises as Dollar Rallies - Zibb.com

May 12, 2008 (Fresh Brewed Media via COMTEX) --

Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. (BBBY) opened at 32.19. So far today, the stock has hit a low of 32.19 and a high of 33.42. BBBY is now trading at 33.12, up 0.93 (2.89%). The stock hit its 52 week high of 41.69 in May and set its 52 week low of 24.49 in January. BBBY fell during 2007, but has been stronger this year. Shares of home furnishing stores have been rallying along with the broader market as traders' concerns about rising inflation and its effect on consumer spending eased after the dollar advanced against other major currencies. Technical indicators for the stock are bullish and steady while S&P gives BBBY a neutral 3 STARS (out of 5) hold rating. If you're looking for a hedged play on this stock, consider an August bull-put credit spread below the $25 range. BBBY stock could fall up to 24.5% before expiration and this position would still be profitable.
